“We just celebrated my wife's surprise 65th birthday Sunday with 14 family members. We chose El vado #2 Mexican Restaurant and couldn't be any happier. From them going out of their way purchasing ballons and banners to her complimentary frozen ice cream the service, food and drinks were phenomenal. Very warm and welcoming staff. Very appreciative of your business and fantastic atmosphere. Thank you for this memory. Never felt rushed. Everyone in our family raved on how great it was and was one of our best parties ever. Familiar with their other restaurant in McHenry which is also excellent and reasonably priced. You have to try this place if you like mexican food. A+++“

“I just moved Island lake 10 days ago it's the first time I've been to Raul's burritos.
I ordered the king steak burrito 🌯
N it was .... The best steak burrito I've had in years.
Perfectly grilled burrito. Mistake was juicy and tender which is most places biggest mistake or steaks usually very chewy I find very few places that I would even order steak burrito.
Because it hasn't been done right in a long time when I order it I just ordered chicken from now on but since I've never been here I went with it. And that was a very good choice.nyu yum yum
No doubt I will be back if you've never been just give it a try even there mild and their spicy sauce is very good I can find nothing to complain about and I'm generally picky about food because I love to cook so if I go out and pay for it and I can make it better myself that's disappointing I'm no professional I've only gotten my head into learning to cook like three four years ago and I am an amateur but I know there's places where I do a better job myself so I would go to Raul's anytime over anywhere I don't have another burrito place and I don't need one probably if this place up once or twice a week don't want to overdo it but you get that craving immediately it's because sometimes you haven't had good food that you paid for in a long time all right I'm surprised how much I put so I'm going to stop rambling and I recommend highly really give it a try“

“Food was delicious, service was great. The table side guacamole was so good. I will be back. I am looking forward to warm weather to enjoy the outside patio with the delicious margaritas they make.“

“5 stars! The staff was very friendly. The food was very fresh and tasted amazing. The restaurant was also clean. It is unfortunately 3 hours from my home but will be an added stop when I travel that way!“

“Best Mexican food you’ll love this place great service and super clean environment“

“We tried Chelo’s Taco & Burrito Express for the first time tonight and it was excellent!!! Highly recommend!“

“The tacos were good. The salsa was extremely spicy (still edible, but I prefer a more mild salsa, especially in a restaurant setting) and the chicken taco which claimed to be spicy, actually wasn't, which I thought was kind of strange. The pico de gallo on my fish taco was also very hot since it contained a lot of jalapeno. Out of the 3 tacos I got the mahi mahi was my favorite.“

“Stopped here after about 7 - 8 games of Pickleball, with a big appetite- left full, satisfied, with plenty for at least another meal.
Had the Ground Beef burrito, and it was yummy! The House made chips and salsa were also delicious. ( these were complimentary)
There’s something about the chips that really stuck out for me in a positive way. They weren’t greasy at all, and had a nice taste & crunch to them.
The salsa had a little kick but not too much. (they brought other sauces to the table you could use as well that I’m guessing we’re spicier, but I’m not a spicy gal)
Employees were friendly, the atmosphere is very casual.
Prices are definitely reasonable & fair
Will be back!
* The only thing I wish they had on the menu, was Elote.“

“Hands down La Fonda is second to none! Best authentic Mexican restaurant in McHenry county!!!“

“on our first visit 4/16/24- tried chicken fajitas and chicken taco meal. Both were delicious and huge portions. Waitress was attentive and friendly. We'll be back!👍“

“fast friendly service outstanding food highly recommend everyone come here.“

“I’m from Tucson and this was Authentic Mexican food; excellent meal promptly prepared to-go. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Lack of street signage makes it tough to find, but it is adjacent to the bp gas station. Well worth the search though.“

“Los mejores tacos de la región y el personal muy amable y los dueños ya ni se diga mis respetos para don José muy amable ,además cuentan con una michoacana y muy deliciosas paletas y helado Amo ir a comer tacos a la alcancia…“

“Dine in includes chips and salsa. Salsa is excellent. It has some spice to it. The chips are slightly above average.

I typically enjoy the chicken burrito or chicken taco salad. Both are excellent. The burrito is a better but $10 vs. the taco bowl $14.

The enchiladas are good. I haven’t quite found the perfect sauce. The white poblano sauce is ok.

The steak burrito wasn’t as good as I was hoping. The steak was on the tough side but still ok.

The rice and beans are top notch. Some of the best I’ve had. Rice is cooked perfectly and the beans are excellent, not watery at all.

I recommend dine in and the chicken burrito. The habanero sauce is excellent.“

“Food is delicious! 🤤 Great service and atmosphere!“

“I call ahead and pick up a bag of tacos omw home for easy dinner on tuesdays. Always so good!“

“Es de mis restaurantes favoritos aquí en Illinois! La mejor comida mexicana de autor … gracias por existir“

“Been going to Sergios since the beginning. The owner, Sergio, is an awesome guy. I moved out of Lake Zurich two years ago but every time I’m in town and am hungry, I usually try to stop by.“

“Nice small place tucked into a strip mall. Add tacos barbacoa. Which were excellent. We also had the largest tray of nachos ever. It serves over four people. The staff was friendly and the food was served quickly and piping hot. Superfresh.“

“Absolutely love their marinated pork Al pastor. The atmosphere is very friendly and ma'am and pap place like.
It is not the cheapest place but it is totally worth it because they have the biggest tortas and portions I ever had.
My torta was basically double sized and huge. Thanks guys, keep it up!“

Vegetarian options: It has a section on the menu for us veggie!“

“Jeff provided great customer service when we partnered with him for catering one of our events!“

“Super cute "authentic" vibes 🇲🇽 DELICIOUS food!!!“

“Went here for the first time service was exceptional. They let us know today was mothers day in mexico which I loved it doesnt change anything but it was cute that they mentioned it to us. They stopped us on our way out to give me and my friend roses for mothers day. They were quick and on top of everything, very attentive. Two mom with two little ones was a challenge but they made us feel very welcome. The enchiladas were great 9.5/10 the quesabirria was ok 6.5/10 not my favorite I couldve order soemthing else but I was happy enough. Absolutely would go back again.“

“I absolutely loved the energy of the lady at the front counter! She was amazing! She was giving me samples of the juices and the salsa while I was waiting for the food and she was so nice and she just made you feel welcomed and the food was really good too! I will be back, this is my new favorite place!“

“Excellent food and friendly service…“

“Me and my teenager love this place. Tacos are great!“

“super rico y muy buena atencion recomendable“

“It's kind of an older place, but food is great. Excellent burritos served fast at an average cost. Real authentic Mexican food. It's a little awkward to park, but well worth the trip.

Parking: Spaces are a little awkward to use, there is plenty of spots though

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spaces in front easy to use.“

“Good prices for tacos. They tacos were a good size as well. My kids loved em.
There's plenty of parking inside this busy plaza. They didn't give us limones for our tacos maybe we shoulda asked other thn that the place is small decent definitely coming back to try more of their food items and maybe sit and eat there! Steak tacos were an 8/10.“

“Some of the best made-from-scratch Mexican food in the area! Highly recommended.“

“We tried this place for the first time today. It was fantastic great good perfect blend of great homemade Mexican food with great American breakfast foods as well! I had the huevos rancheros with French toast, so delicious! Great service and great food! 10/10“

“great food, good service, can't wait to go back. 👍👍“

“Honestly the best Mexican place to get tacos. I’ve been to a lot of them and this place beats it hands down! From fast and friendly service to fantastic and great quality food! The tacos are great in size and the meat is by far the best! Every time I do an outing I always order their near by the pounds! Delicious and juicy!“

“Love the food here! But, not great customer Service. The service was pretty fast… But they did not have any cheeseburgers as it said on their menu for the kids meal. I also did not have any chicken nuggets from the kids meal, They also had no Lengua tacos and only enough steak to make three tacos. And I would also recommend updating your website to include that you no longer serve alcohol“

“Friendly staff and some of the yummiest food I’ve had! Come try it and I promise, you’ll want to keep coming back.“

“Awesome menu! They have some amazing Mexican seafood dishes plus all your regular Mexican favorites! Really nice service too. This will be a regular spot for us!“

“What a great place with wonderful cocktails, a large and varied menu and a happy vibe. Christian, our server answered our many questions about the food and emboldened us to try selections we’d never had before! I loved the charbroiled skirt steak, ceviche, those pork appetizers I’ve never heard of, and my frozen strawberry margaritas. Others at the table had enchiladas, tamales, sangria and beer. Christian kept it all coming. He made sure to tell us about upcoming events such as taco Tuesdays and live music, including mariachi bands. Oh, sign me up! It also appeared to be family friendly. It’s a large space with plenty so we could have a conversation with our friends. The outdoor seating area looked nice, too, but we dined in the bar. A fantastic experience.“

“The salsa is definitely authentic, fresh, and delicious! I love how they have photos of the plates on the menu. Really enjoyed the steak tampiquenia, chille rejanos, fajitas, and tacos. They have a full menu with plenty of options. The service and food were super duper! 😋“

“Such a great experience with Rafa Tacos. We had them for our son’s graduation party and we were very happy with them! Easy and clear communication and the food was outstanding!!! We will definitely used them again! Highly recommended!“
